Default Do You Recognise This?

I found this bolt on the ground of the garage next to the left rear of my 2018 Grand Sport.

I'm not sure if it came from the C7 or one of the other cars - does anyone recognise it as belonging to a C7?

Looks like a bolt that is used to seal off a liquid line of some type, kind of like a bleeder screw.

Agree. Looks like the supercharger bleeder line screw on my SS.

Thanks for the replies. Problem solved - it didn't come from the C7 but from the next door car in the garage (a 1960 single seater race car) which had a new brake master cylinder fitted a few weeks ago and the bolt was a spare blanking plug for one of the master cylinder outlets.
